Non-plant if help (insects).

Hi- I just bought a new house with amazing gardens that have been neglected for years. Lots of dead plant debris, leaves, twigs 3-5 inches deep.
I’m on my hands and knees raking it up inch by inch, BUT, now I have about a hundred little raised hive/bumps on my arms/legs that itch, but not horribly. What is making me crazy is I keep feeling these little pinches/bites randomly on my arms and legs even though it’s days later and I’ve showered daily. I’ve had ticks and chiggers on me, but I’m not familiar with this particular experience. Do any of you have any idea what this can be? This isn’t in an urban area but a rural wooded community. TIA!

Help ID- what are they?

I recently moved to a new home that had amazing gardens that have been neglected for several years. I want to pull some stuff up but want to know what it is and do I need protection before exposing my hands/arms to it? Picture 4 is a blossom end of what’s growing in Pic 3- it’s just buried in blackberries.
